Pride in the Lake - Thank You

Thanks to the Arroyo Seco Honor Society and Cub Scout Pack 575 of Saugus, we had 18 volunteers help with our monthly "Pride in the Lake" cleanup activity. We'd also like to thank Robert the lake youth worker for helping us out. He did a great job for us again this month. Click on Photo to Enlarge. See calender for next event.
